Britain's best beaches, according to TripAdvisor

Britain's 10 most enticing beaches, according to TripAdvisor's review of reviews for 2015, plus tips on nearby hotels and attractions. Do "Woolacombe fully deserves its place in the list of Europe's best beaches," said Suzy Bennett, our Devon expert. "The three miles of white sands, backed by rolling dunes, mean that even in the height of summer, it's easy for visitors to find their very own bit to stretch out on. There's plenty of space for games, whether it's beach cricket, volleyball, frisbee or sandcastle building." Explore Exmoor, or tackle a section of the South West Coast Path. Stay The Woolacombe Bay Hotel (www.woolacombe-bay-hotel.co.uk
), right above the beach, or the Saunton Sands Hotel
, a little way down the cost in Braunton, Devon. It's a family-friendly option with wonderful views of the sea and Saunton's sandy beach. Read more Devon travel guideRead more about Woolacombe and vote in our poll here
